There are plenty of inmate programs that work, and that without some criminals really would remain criminals.
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of people walking these streets that were at one time doing 10-25 + years, now they are old and have done their time.
Think they deserve a life? Theyve paid for their crime, what if we just put them all to death instead? Better?
Some programs really make that difference for some criminals.
I was part of an Inmate drum training camp with John densmore opf the Doors and BB King back in the early 90s, sound dumb huh? Giving inmates drums and having teaching music?
Those classes made those guys feel good about themselves, they were once musicians now they were criminals, id like to think some of them went on to realize their mistakes and better temselves, of course rehabiliation lies within, but we must give tem the oppurtunity to do so.
Locking them up for life, and throwing away the key is NOt the answer. Nor is putting that kid to death, let him do 35 years, maybe he will change. Maybe not.
There is no quick fix here.
